The first Jesuit institution in the Viceroyal capital came to be with important help from Alonso de Villaseca. It was the largest Jesuit educational building in the city. Over time, it became the most specialized and modern of Jesuit schools. It completed the formation of Jesuit novices and taught in indigenous languages with a generous endowment for its own maintenance. The temple eventually became one of the richest and most luxurious of New Spain, but nothing remained of it after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. The temple later served as a debate hall for the first Mexican Constitutional Congress. It thus became the site of the promulgation of the first constitution. Later, the facilities were used as a national newspaper library and science museum. Today it preserves one of the first works of Mexican muralism, the murals, sculptures, tiles and stained glass windows of a team headed by Roberto Montenegro and made between 1922 and 1930.
